sargonsennacherib-amaic.blogspot.comWhy we chose culture We chose culture because we wanted to learn more about what they did in everyday life. Also we wanted to know the types of religions in Mesopotamia. We learned some facts in class but we wanted to know more so we chose culture. Plus we wanted to know more than other people so we can learn more when they are still learning what we just learned. That is why we chose culture to study.Works CitedWebsite Duckster.
